Scientific paper

We request continuing timing and monitoring observations of 6 rotating radio transients and confirmation of 8 others. These sources are rotating neutron stars which are detectable only through their sporadic radio bursts. The observations proposed here are crucial for understanding the emission mechanism of these sources and for determining how they relate to other neutron star populations. we also aim to maintain the phase-connected timing solutions achieved during the last observing semester to determine positions, ages and magnretic fields. These observations are the cornerstone of an extensive campaign at X-ray, radio and infrared wavelengths. We have also reinspected our survey databases and found 8 new candidate RRATs which we propose to confirm and to start characterisation of their properties.
